About the Farm Business & Taxation Committee

The IFA Farm Business Committee is a national committee, with elected representatives from all 29 of IFA’s County Executives. Committee members come from all different sectors of farming, thereby providing a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the business issues facing farm families. The Farm Business Committee has the lead role in developing the IFA annual pre-budget submission.

The key roles of the farm business committee are:

Development of taxation policy proposals for farm businesses and families and identifying measures necessary to support farm investment, promote farm transfer and land mobility.

Liaising with the banking sector on issues of credit relevant to farmers – access to credit, the cost of credit and length of decision making on loan applications
